Title: Aturia alabamensis (Morton) in Jackson Beds at Creola Bluff, Montgomery, Louisiana: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Louis De A. Gimbrede

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

A single specimen of Aturia alabamensis was found in the lower Yazoo Clay or upper Moodys Branch Marl at Creola Bluff on the Red River at Montgomery, Louisiana. Other reports of the presence of this species at various localities in the Gulf Coast region emphasize the anomalous absence of this species from equivalent age beds in the Louisiana-Texas area. The scarcity of this pelagic animal in the above lithologic units suggests possible ecologic implications.
